Doubt, Hope, Action : Invitation to a Gentle Revolution - Caroline Lucas

Doubt, Hope, Action is Uffe Elb�k's journey in search of hope and an invitation to a gentle revolution. In this thoughtful and provocative book, Elb�k explores many of the challenges and contradictions that define our time - especially the urgent question: What kind of world are we leaving for future generations?Chapter by chapter Elb�k confronts the planetary endgame we face. A collapse of both outer and inner structures. From climate collapse, epidemics and violent social, political and technological conflicts, through the weakening of democratic institutions, right-wing radicalisation and fighting over resources, to regional warfare and the reemergence of something looking very much like old-fashioned imperialism. He refuses to accept despair. Why? Because he knows that another world is possible. And that it is already here in the values-driven entrepreneurs, democratic businesses, citizen groups, cooperatives, cultural initiatives, organic farming collectives and a whole new generation of progressive political voices. Every one of them is a pledge that a green, democratic, post-capitalist society is possible. Blending sharp social analysis with heartfelt optimism, Doubt, Hope, Action urges progressive movements and all people to recognise their shared purpose-and to unite, mobilise, and act. Now is not the time to sit on the sidelines.
